Robberies over the last 12 months are up 7% compared to the annual average over the last three years, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department data through December 05.

The areas of the county policed by the LAPD and Sheriff’s Department averaged 255 robberies a week over the last 12 months. In 2019, that number was 268 a week.

Robbery is generally defined by police as taking something of value from someone by force or threatening force. So while someone taking a smartphone from someone’s bag would be theft, taking it while pointing a firearm at the person would be robbery.

A closer look at Los Angeles robberies neighborhood by neighborhood

The risk is not the same neighborhood to neighborhood. ABC7’s data team looked at data from the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by neighborhood from 2019 through December 05, 2022, the latest date for which records are available from the two agencies.

The map color codes each police district by the robbery rate over the last 12 months. The three darker blues represent neighborhoods with robbery rates that are higher than the citywide rate. You can also click the box in the bottom right corner to see neighborhoods by the number of robberies.
